Food is good. Not the greatest, but definitely great for San Diego. I ordered the chicken pho with white meat as they were out of dark meat. I felt the broth was nice and clear, but lacked any pho herb flavors/aromatics. Ginger fish sauce wasn't good. I also ordered the banh uot goi ga salad special. Goi was good, but nearly no chicken but plenty of giblets which I really like. But the banh uot was no good. Dried up and hardened really quick. The biggest plus about their food? The esthetics of the dishes. Presentation was beautiful! Bright greens and a pop here and there of red. And fried onions to top it off. They definitely know how to utilize the color palette. Overall, best pho ga & vietnamese chicken dishes for San Diego thus far. I would definitely come back to try all their specials. read more

Pho Ga Go is the savior sent to revive SD's Vietnamese food scene. Some of the best (if not the best) Vietnamese food around! This spot is brought to you by the owners of Crab Hut and Kingfisher- the latter being one of my all-time favorite restaurants. Right now, they're currently operating out of Crab Hut (in Mira Mesa) for lunch only. Be sure to get there early since they do run out! We dropped by for a later lunch and got the Bun Cha Gio (Vermicelli Egg Rolls Bowl), Pho Ga Uc va Canh (Chicken Pho- White Meat & Wing), Goi Ga Xe Phai (Chicken Salad), and a Manila Mango Soda. I'm so serious when I say that everything was so freaking good! The Pho Ga was amazing- clean broth, bouncy noodles, and fresh chicken. They've really got the broth down. I'm usually not a fan of pho ga unless it's homemade and theirs is on par. I loved their egg rolls! My family is from Northern Vietnam and Northern style egg rolls aren't something you see too often at restaurants. So good and absolutely adore the amount of veggies they piled on. read more

Pho Ga (Shredded Chicken) - (A Tier), excellent pho ga. The chicken broth was gentle to the taste and definitely gives you that little pick me up on a rough day/yesterday night. The chicken was really tender as well. Service was really great considering it was one host taking in people meanwhile the wait staff was attentive. The vibes are really solid especially when they focus on community events. When I went it was in collaboration with the local coffee shop. read more

My dad loves pho ga and has been craving it, so I took him here for lunch yesterday. We were both very pleased with the high quality and taste. He ordered the #2 Pho Ga (Shredded Dark Meat) and I got the #3 Pho Ga (White Meat). We ordered and paid at the counter as we entered the restaurant and food was delivered to our table. The servers were all very polite and friendly. The pho was amazing! We absolutely loved the broth, noodles, organic walking chicken, and fresh herbs. We also received complimentary black bean and tapioca dessert that was really good. Each week, there's a special dish that's only offered during that week, so come check them out and see what the surprise will be each week! I 100% recommend this restaurant and will be coming back with my dad next time he has a craving for pho ga! It was absolutely delicious and was just the right portion size for $16 per bowl. It's worth noting that this restaurant is a shared space with Crab Hut. Pho Ga Go is only opened Mondays - Fridays from 10am to 2pm. They're available for dine in or take out. Outside of these hours, if you go, it will be Crab Hut. read more

Best pho I've had in San Diego! The broth and all the ingredients were so fresh and delicious. I also really enjoyed the egg rolls and pho rolls. The dipping sauces all had good flavor. The food was ready quickly and service was on point. I'll definitely be back for the pho and appetizers. read more

The best chicken pho I've had yet!! This is a "pop up" chicken pho place inside the Crab hut in Miramesa mall. They are open only M-F 10am-2pm. When you "check in" that's where you order and pay and then sit down. The only complaint we had was we waited almost 20 mins for our food after we ordered and were seated. But... it was definitely worth the wait. The broth is very flavorful and their sate has a hint of lemongrass and is very good, although I wish it were spicier. I love sate in my pho! We got there around 12.30pm and they already ran out of the dark meat, so we got the white meat, which was still good. The restaurant was packed. The servers were all super friendly and you can tell they were working as quickly as they can. We will definitely be back. They have a "rotating menu" so I'd love to come back and try some different menu items of the week. read more

Kind of disappointed. Maybe it's because I'm used to the punchy flavor of a good South Viet pho ga, but this chicken pho flavor was extremely subdued in flavor. Honestly it felt like it was missing a good amount of salt to bring out the herbs and spices. Good lemongrass flavor but that alone doesn't cut it. The chicken itself was nice and tender, but again without the slightly salty flavor infused into the meat, it just fell flat. Noodles were a tad soft and overcooked but that could also be regional, I just don't know. I've heard such great things about this pho and the promo videos they've done seemed promising, so I'm hoping this was just a fluke. Service was friendly, no complaints. Maybe they should just turn the Crabhut into a Pho spot since everyone that day was there for pho and not Crabhut in this economy. read more

Pho Ga Go - Pretty decent Rice Paper (egg?) Rolls but they are tiny, like one bite each - Vietnamese Near Me - San Diego, California

f you are looking for authentic, perfectly executed pho gà, this is it. We ordered the Phở Gà Đùi (dark meat with the whole leg and thigh) and the Phở Gà Ức Cánh (white meat breast and wing). The broth is exceptionally clean and flavorful, and the poultry quality is top-tier. We also grabbed the Gỏi Cuốn (spring rolls), which were fresh and solid. But the absolute sleeper hit here? The Fish Sauce Wings. They are legitimate contenders for some of the best wings I have ever had...perfectly crispy, sticky, and packed with savory flavor. Do not skip them. The only downside: Their operating hours are incredibly short. I would easily put this into my heavy rotation for a post-work dinner, but their schedule makes it tough to get here after the workday ends. Go for lunch or plan your day around it...the food is absolutely worth the effort. read more

I've been seeing Pho Ga Go all over my social media feed, so I finally decided to give it a try with a friend. Since it was our first visit, we both ordered the Pho Gà (chicken pho), and it did not disappoint. There was a line when we arrived, and the wait after ordering was a bit long, but the food was absolutely worth it. The broth was rich, flavorful, and comforting--honestly one of the best chicken pho broths I've had. My recommendation is to taste the broth first before adding any sauces or condiments because it's that good on its own. I did try some of the chili lemongrass oil on one side of my bowl, which added a nice kick and depth of flavor. That said, I found myself going back and forth between the spicy side and the original broth because I genuinely enjoyed both. The host mentioned that they rotate their menu, so I'm glad we stopped by while pho was being featured. If this bowl is any indication of the quality they put out, I'll definitely be back to try more of what they offer. Great flavor, friendly service, and a unique pop-up concept. The wait can be a little long, but it's well worth it. Highly recommended! read more

Unfortunately, this new chicken pho joint fell short of expectations. The taste of the food was disappointing. I'll start off with service: staff was nice. A little disorganized, forgetting to give us utensils to eat the food - but that isn't a big deal. Egg rolls are a skip. They're tiny. The dipping fish sauce was way too sour, it was off putting. Pho ga was just alright. The broth wasn't that bad, but the noodles were overcooked and too soft, not enough chew. The biggest letdown (perhaps because I was most excited for this): dry pho. The sauce was NOT good at all. Too salty, lacking any sweetness, tasted like salt and burnt garlic!!! It seems like they use the minced garlic in a jar. It did not taste fresh, it tasted like burnt liquid. I wish I had nicer things to say, but I just was not impressed. The whole meal cost almost $50. It was a shame we didn't like anything we ordered. read more

Pho Ga Go is a takeout pop-up located inside Crab Hut at The Village in Mira Mesa. You have to order by noon and at least 24 hours in advance on Tock and then schedule a pickup time. On weekends, the pickup time range is from 12 to 3 pm while on weekdays the pickup time slot is from 4 to 7 pm. The menu was simple with three major items... Phở Gà (chicken phở), Chả Giò (egg rolls), and Gỏi Gà Xé Phai (chicken salad). The chicken phở was available with two meat types, dark (leg and thigh) or white (breast and wing). I chose the latter for my order along with a set of five egg rolls. The kitchen prepared the broth by slowly simmering the liquid over 12 hours with chicken bones. A generous spread of herbs was added to the soup. Fresh, thick noodles were used instead of thin rice vermicelli at most Vietnamese eateries. Typical garnishments were also provided like cilantro, green onions, bean sprouts, Thai basil, and lime wedges. When I arrived at 4:00, there were already a few customers who had checked in ahead of me. A pickup table was arranged to the right of the entrance when you walked inside Crab Hut. I thought that orders would have been already bagged and ready to go, however the worker was still slowly assembling each one. After a 15-minute wait, I was given a paper bag containing multiple takeout vessels. One held the five egg rolls, another was filled with the soup, a third had the noodles and meat, and the last contained the garnishments. The egg rolls were wrapped with rice paper as opposed to egg noodle paper. They had a good amount of filling made up of pork, shrimp, taro, wood ear mushroom, carrot, and mung bean noodle. The issue was that each one was tiny in size. For a similar price of six dollars for five pieces, I have visited another place where the size was nearly double that of what I received here. A cup of nước chấm (fish sauce) was provided for dipping. Red Boat fish sauce, sugar, chili, and calamansi were the ingredients. As for the chicken noodle soup, the broth was light and fragrant. It was the best component by far. The amount of white chicken meat was decent. I wasn't a fan of the wider noodles which needed a greater amount in the order. Maybe it's because I am just accustomed to thin vermicelli. My takeout experience at Pho Ga Go was at a level between three and four stars. read more

Tried Pho Ga Go in Mira Mesa and overall it was okay, but not great. The individual servings were sold out, even as you need to order a day in advanced, so we got the family size. There's only so much flavor you can really extract from chicken, and I personally prefer the depth of a traditional beef bone broth. The toppings helped a lot though, especially the ginger spice sauce, which definitely boosted the flavor. Noodles and veggies were fresh and cooked well, so no complaints there. We also ordered the spring rolls, but they were very small for the price, which was a bit disappointing. All in all, it's a decent spot if you're specifically craving chicken pho, but for me it doesn't quite compare to more traditional pho options. read more

5/5 Chicken pho, no notes. Super clean broth, if you've seen the promo videos they aren't lying. You can taste how much time goes into making such a clean and flavorful broth. They don't cut corners. Loved the dipping sauce and Fresno chilies that come on the side too. Bonus points for culantro! Fast efficient service. New go-to for chicken pho. read more

Before I write this review I would like to ask people when you write reviews for this restaurant please be honest so you can help the next person. Me and my friends were here today. The Food: we had Pho gà (chicken soup), and CK meats. first we try the soup without any seasoning on it, surprise to all of us: it tasted like water. No flavor. The chicken meat is low quality grade. The dipping sauces are not good either. We ALL agreed about the quality of this place. Wasted our time and money here. Before you can take a seat, you have to stand and wait for the cashier, order, and then pay there. We watched customers standing there like us earlier and they were still thinking what to order No wonder the line is so long. People think it must be good food. Don't be fooled. read more

Just okay.. honestly was expecting a bit more given their affiliation with Kingfisher but sadly I was disappointed. I got the whole chicken pho which came with pretty hefty portion that was probably 4 large servings. Came with flat pho fresh noodles, all the herb fixins, and lots of shredded chicken both with dark & light meat. This came with 5 large containers of broth. Chicken was good, but soup was lacking in flavor. I was looking for that spice punch that is characteristic of pho, but sadly was left disappointed. Honestly just tasted like a clear plain soup broth rather than pho ga broth. It came with nuoc Cham which was good. Also tried the Banh Khot special which was also just okay.. the calamansi nuoc Cham was good, but the Banh khot itself.. meh. Def not worth the price in my opinion. Overall glad I tried but don't think I will venturing back. read more

The cut up chicken pho was good, tasty and tender. Broth was rich and seasoned well. I only wish that the noodles were not overdone. It was cooked too long, there was no texture anymore. Too soft. I like a little chew on my noodles. The egg rolls were good too but too small. They were miniature. Maybe charge a little more but make them bigger. We also got spring rolls and they were also delicious. Overall a great place to eat Vietnamese. We will visit again! read more

We absolutely love Pho Ga Go! We had been picking up their orders to go for awhile and were so impressed with the overall quality! We recently dined in with them for lunch at their Crab Hut Mira Mesa location and loved it. Excellent service and the food was even better! Highly recommend if you're looking for authentic Vietnamese food! read more

Pho Ga Go - Vietnamese Near Me - San Diego, California

The food here at Pho Ga Go is FANTASTIC. I have eaten a lot from here and a few examples are Chicken Pho, Chicken Rice, and Vit Tiem noodles. Chicken Pho, the noodles were soft, there were a lot of chicken, the chicken was tender, and the broth was amazing, the flavor of it is exactly like the flavor of traditional Hanoi Pho. Chicken Rice was really good, especially the chicken, which had A LOT of skin on it and is very juicy and soft, and the Canh Cai Ngot (Vietnamese Choy Sum Soup) which was brilliant. The special dish i ate the most recently is the Vit Tiem Noodles. The noodles were soft. The duck was also very very soft, juicy and tender. The addition "toppings" were incredible like the mushroom and ky tu (Goji berries). The service here was very good. The people was very friendly. The atmosphere was fresh. I personally think this is the best Vietnamese restaurant in San Diego and this would stand out a lot when comparing with different Vietnamese restaurants, too. read more

Pho Ga Go - Vietnamese Near Me - San Diego, California

We loved everything at Pho Ga Go! We tried the phở gà, the weekly special, bún bò huế, and the fish sauce chicken wings, and every dish was a hit. The broth was incredibly clear yet rich and flavorful, and they were very generous with the meat. The bún bò huế was packed with flavor, and the Vietnamese iced coffee was extra strong in the best way possible. The biggest surprise? The fish sauce wings. The kids loved them so much that we had to order a second round! Bonus points for the ample parking, which makes visiting even easier. We'll definitely be back! read more

There's been a lot of hype for this restaurant and to me a lot of confusion. I wasn't sure if this place was only pre-order and pick up or you can actually sit down in the restaurant and eat so I was in Vista and had a 30 minute drive to get to the restaurant so I called ahead just to make sure I can get in and if I could actually sit down and eat and take some to go and I was told that I could either order online and pick up as late as 215 or as long as I make it by two I can get an order in and I'll be served so I even told the guy I'll make it there by 1:58 and he told me it's OK I'll be fine and then when I got there, I was created by this Korean popstar looking guy who was like I'm sorry you can't you're late and then proceeded to tell me he was the one who talk to me on the phone when I later was helped by someone else and he told me he spoke to me on the phone and he was glad that I was able to get seated in order food. I specifically even asked for the lemongrass sauté that they sell to go and the Korean popstar told me he doesn't have it but when the guy told me later, finally making me feel welcome to be there. He ordered me a jar to go. So I didn't really have the greatest experience with that part but the soup was really fresh and clean, and I was told that there was only white meat available which I was totally OK with because the meat was super tender and not dry at all, and then they even gave a ginger dipping sauce to go with it. That was unbelievable. The only thing I wasn't too crazy about where the noodles cause they were kind of like the flat ones and not the round ones and I just like the texture of the round ones better and if I was in the area and I felt like eating PHO then I would definitely come back, but I wouldn't go out of my way to drive 30 minutes to come, especially if I knew it was close to closing time because I want my food to stay down instead of feeling like it's sitting at the top of my throat read more

Crab Hut's new pop up concept from Sunday-Tuesday. Orders are easily placed for a reserved time & prepaid for. Pick up was quick & staff is friendly & welcoming. 3.5/5 decent bowl of chicken pho. Clean broth with the aroma of lime leaves. Plenty of broth and chicken but I expected more noodles for the price per bowl. I liked how they individually packaged each order with heat up instructions. The size of each egg rolls is small and mine was not that crispy but it tasted good with their extra garlicky nuoc cham. read more

This place was very good. My friend and I decided to come after seeing other people review it. Never had chicken pho before but now I'm a fan. So delicious and flavorful. We also had the spring rolls and chicken wings. All of it tasted great. Will be back again! read more

Food was excellent. The chicken was tender and the sauces were great! The soup was delicious! Service was good. The only thing that can be improved on are the egg rolls. I think the skin was undercooked as there was some chewiness to it. Possibly because they were tiny and rolled too many layers. My suggestion is to make them bigger and give less rolls if you need to (or charge more). The eggrolls had good filling and flavor though. Hopefully they see my comment and improve on it. I would definitely recommend this place. read more

Great chicken pho, best in San Diego! Would recommend to anyone, also has a great salad too!

Saw this pop up on my IG and since I do love me a good bowl of pho ga, I knew I had to try it. Ordering process was done via Tock and you can pick a time for pick up. I was glad that I only ordered the pho ga (dark meat, whole pieces) because the portions were pretty small for the price ($16/bowl). Despite what they advertised regarding the broth, I thought it was only mediocre at best. I recommend going to Pho Cow Cali for the pho ga instead! Orrrrr... Anywhere in Little Saigon (OC). read more

Food tastes authentic and clean! Glad there is a place that serves dishes different from other Vietnamese spots in the area!

Great service & unique flavors to experience familiar dishes. For people who are fans of brighter palates. The egg rolls were my favorite

This place was a pop-up in the crab hut in Mira Mesa. Overall attentive staff and the setting was fine, as you'd expect from crab hut. Pho ga dui was good, but the noodles were a little undercooked and the broth tasted very clean while still being flavorful. read more

I love a lot of food here at Pho Ga Go. My favorite dish is Chicken Salad. This dish includes a lot of vegetables and chicken blended by a incredible-tasting fish sauce, making a dish that is very amazing. Another dish which is also very good is Chicken Pho. One bowl of this dish has a lot of chicken that is very juicy and tender. The noodles are very soft and tastes the same as the ones in Vietnam, not using dried-pho like the others. The broth is needless to say, it is as good as North-Vietnam's. The service here is fantastic with very friendly staffs. read more

Great pho and great service. Was sat quickly and the food came out just as fast. Will definitely be coming back
